Detailed Portfolio & Biography for World Book Record Submission

Title:

First Mirror-Printed Book Published in India
(For the book: “The Behavioral Investor: Why Smart People Make Poor Financial Choices”)

About the Author: Nagaraj Balasubramaniam

I am Nagaraj Balasubramaniam, an economic journalist, behavioral finance educator, author, and founder of Confero Ventures Pvt. Ltd., Coimbatore, India.

From an early stage, I was curious about why people make irrational financial decisions even when equipped with knowledge. This curiosity led me to pursue higher studies at IIM Lucknow and attain certifications such as NISM, NCFM, and AMFI, building a strong foundation in market operations and personal finance.

As an educator, investor, and counselor, my mission has been to empower people to treat the stock market as a structured business rather than an emotional gamble, bringing financial literacy and behavioral awareness to a broader audience across India.

About the Book: The Behavioral Investor: Why Smart People Make Poor Financial Choices

This book is India’s first mirror-printed publication in the financial education domain, with all content printed in reverse to be read using a mirror.

The unique format compels the reader to slow down, engage, and reflect deeply on behavioral biases in personal finance and trading. It aligns with the book's theme: self-reflection as the first step toward financial discipline.

It is my fourth authored book, building on my earlier works in behavioral finance and options trading.
